Yes. Usually the leftovers from previous night dinner.

Walmart plastic bag with a sandwich, a protein bar, and some fruit

People spend way too much money constantly ordering stuff

I like apples. A lot.

I could bring a sack of Rome.

I work somewhere with few (if any) food options to purchase. I bring my lunch every day. Usually, it’s something I can heat up in a microwave, but sometimes it’s a sandwich.

I work from home some, but also have an office 7 minutes from my house... so, I normally eat breakfast and lunch at home.

I don't put it in a brown bag but I bring all of my lunches and breakfasts. I have a fridge in my office for that. I meal prep on Sundays so I'm not having to eat junk or $25 lunches all week.

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I look for a cheap option, such as a sam hotdog combo for $1.65. Not necesarrily healthy but it is cheap.

I brought a sandwich and a banana for breakfast to work in a black bag.

I do work with some that think nothing of a $15 lunch each day.

I went from working in an office with an exceptional cafeteria to working from home and having a granola bar and protein shake for lunch. Have lost 20 pounds since May. Down below 190 now.

Always. You save a ton of money doing this.

I buy a big bad of pretzels and then take a handful to work in a ziploc for lunch every day. Work lunch costs me maybe $10 a month

Same here, I cook big meals and will have leftovers that I eat for the next couple of days.

I bring my lunch about half the time. Usually leftovers from dinner. I do occaisionally eat tuna/chicken salad or a BLT I make at work, but I don't just bring a premade flatmeat sandwich and chips. Every now and then I get a hankering for a chili dog and will buy a pack of dogs and buns and heat up a can of chili in the office kitchen.

That’s such a huge plus. When I worked from home, having access to my stove, fridge, oven, and air fryer was such a huge flex. The only downside was the temptation to snack throughout the day. In my current job, I can fully control how much food I have access to between 7am and 5:30pm, but everything revolves around what would taste good being heated in a microwave.
